Great alternative to my regular hood
Bought this to use in situations where I’m filming with a variable ND filter and can’t use my normal lens hood. This rubber hood fits over the large filter just as I expected it to.

Difficult to put on. It's going back.
I found this hood really difficult to get around the barrel of my RF 24-105 F4L. Once I did, it was on sufficiently tight that adjusting it properly was a frustration. You're supposed to fold the back of it over onto itself to avoid having it interfere with the control ring on the front of RF lenses. Yeah, good luck with that. The hood becomes a thin and tight piece of silicone that has no place to really grab. If you try to get under it with your fingernail, you risk tearing it. It would be so much easier if the back of it flared out a little to give users something to pull. As it is, I am returning it. If I struggle sitting at my desk, I'm never going to want to use it in the field. It is a shame that it has to be stretched so aggressively to get it onto the lens.

Fits too tighly, hampering zoom operation
What a waste, fitting the medium size onto a Nikon Z 70-200s lens made the lens hard to adjust the zoom dial as the silicon pressed so hard onto the outside circumference there was no way to make this lens zoom smoothly.

Economical, versatile and effective
I bought this hood to use on a Nikkor-W 210mm f5.6 lens on a large format view camera.It fit very well and stayed securely attached with no external support.The usual solution is a bellows-type hood with a wire frame that attaches to a beamprojecting from the front standard of the camera. By contrast. this filter is made offan-folded silicone and attaches directly to the lens.Advantages:* Collapses flat* Much more economical to buy* Opens wider* Can be used with any camera the lens/lens board will fit* Can be left on the lens if desired* Nearly indestructible: nothing to crack or rust* Soft, if you happen to run into it while ducking around your tripodDisadvantages:* Must be stretched to attach--be sure your tripod is stable or attach hood to lens beforeattaching lens to camera* Getting the hood to fold where you want it to can be a bit fiddly* Will hold a round filter--but not necessarily securely.Since I use this lens with both my 4x5" camera and my 5x7" camera,this hood was a natural choice. It collapses flat when attached,and is smaller than the lens board--so it fits right in the storage box.I also shoot miniature and medium format, mainly with Nikon lenses.Would I use this hood instead of the Nikon hood made for the lens?For a prime focus lens, probably not (the Nikon hood exactly matchesthe angle-view-of the lens, and is often has a square opening). Butfor a zoom lens, I definitely would. Zoom lenses are portable and versatile,and so is this hood. And having a good hood is especially important withzooms--which usually have many elements and groups--in order to reduceflare (including the insidious kind you can't see but that reduces contrast).Buy one of these great hoods in each size and keep them in your camerabag, and you'll never again be stuck shooting outside without a hood ona bright, sunny day.

Easy to use and great for travel
Today I received the universal KURVD lens hood Size M 72-112. I immediately tried on on my Leica SL 24-90mm. It fits well and easy to install, but it must sit on the very thin ledge of the lens filter otherwise it affect the zoom full functionality. From 75mm through 90mm zoom there are no problems, from 75mm through 35mm I need to retract back completely the hood because it provide a severe vignetting, from 35mm through 24mm I need to remove the hood because of the persisting vignetting.Using the zoom lens from 90mm through 50mm, the hood is a great tool to make photos through a glass window. It even creates a small vacuum if I press a little bit the lens to the glass, and this helps to stabilize the camera for the shot.It works very well with prime lenses, but you need a bit of adjustments on zoom lenses.The material is great, the hood is easy to clean and super easy to carry in my camera bag already crowded.My final rate? Nice and effective. It does its job.

An outstanding, well designed lens hood with multiple uses
After researching several different flexible lens hoods I kept coming back to the Kuvrd product. My initial reason for purchasing this type of lens hood was to take pictures through windows - and avoid the dreaded glare. I was able to install the hood successfully on several of my Sony lenses (16-35 f/4, 35mm f/1.4, 24-105mm f/4 and 70-200mm f/2.8). The fit of the product is perfect on the end of all lenses. I'm now using the hood in rainy environments to keep the front element dry - there is absolutely no way for the rain to seep in between the hood and lens. Of course the hood is perfect for getting rid of lens flare. There is a slight bit of vignetting when shooting at 16mm but it's no big deal as you can easily fix this issue by folding back one section of the hood. I love how the hood folds down flat taking up minimal space in my camera back pack. This is a well designed, high quality product that comes with a lifetime replacement warranty - I highly recommend this product.

You seem to have to cut off the smaller segments to fit larger lenses.
I spent probably 10 minutes trying to get this on a Sony 200-600 lens(95mm filter size) and ended up tearing it a bit, i did eventually get it over the lens, but when i tried to turn it around to face the right way, it just came right back off, i probably should have just taken the tripod shoe and risked ripping it when i try to slip it on from the narrow end of the lens.

No funciona para lentes 95 mm
Lo puse en un Tamron 150-600 mm pero se me dañó cuando intenté sacarlo, realmente no me funcionó
